If it’s only officially playable through an emulator I wonder why didn’t just use a modern game engine to make something in a pixel art style? This is definitely more interesting though


It gives it enough authenticity to make headlines. A generic html game wouldn't have made any where near the same buzz.


Do they advertise it as a Game Boy Color game anywhere? I wouldn’t be surprised if they can’t (or rather don’t want to risk it) for trademark reasons

Edit: The game page itself doesn’t mention it but the article has information on how it was made and by who so they must have got the information somehow, maybe the developer talked about it


There's an in-game credits screen.


The article implies it runs on GBC hardware and a few comments on HN here confirm it.


What the parent comment means is, they're not releasing it on the hardware officially. So it didn't need to be specifically a GameBoy Color game.


That’s why I said “officially”. I doubt they want you to rip the ROM from the page or they would just add a download to it
